On Size Escalation

Today, another person ran into problems with the upload size limit on the site.  If you tried to upload a picture larger than 2MB, not only would the upload fail, but the site would give you a rather useless error about the file being missing.  Sheer idiocy.  So I increased that maximum image size to 4MB.

A bit of perspective: For the first few years of this site's existence I was hosting it off of my AOL account.  The entire site fit into the 2 megabytes of web space that AOL provided.  Today, the total footprint of the site (CMS, image files, database, etc.) is almost 2 gigabytes.

If this trend continues, then by 2026 I should have about 2 terabytes of inflation media.  :)
